Winter Is Here

by Hasini Peyyala

For the poinsettias


The land is desolate

The cold creeps in from every angle

Like dull sand from the beach

It's all so bleak

And lifeless


Untethered, untethered

There's a gap in the space between the grass and the first snowfall

It's masked by the white whole

But exposed by the snow angels and the track prints


Three snowflakes left the clouds

To settle a half-dead tree

To the heavens they never returned,

But made dew on the leaves

And a poinsettia was born
